A man brings his hamster to the vet's office and lays the hamster on the
examining room table. The vet looks at the hamster and says: "I'm sorry sir,
your hamster is dead."
Not at all happy with the vet's diagnosis, the man demands, "I want a second
opinion!"
The vet whistles and in comes a Labrador Retriever. The lab sniffs the
hamster for a minute, looks up, and shakes it's head. "The lab says your
hamster is dead." replies the vet.
"I want a third opinion!" The man demands. So the vet opens the back door
and in bounds a cat, who jumps on the table. The cat looks the hamster up
and down for a few minutes before looking up and shaking it's head. The vet
responds: "Your hamster is definitely dead, sir."
"All right what do I owe you?" The man asks, finally satisfied with the
diagnosis.
"That will be $650, please." The vet replies.
"WHAT?? $650 just to tell me my hamster's dead????"
"Well sir, it would have only cost you 50 dollars for my diagnosis. However
the other $600 was because you insisted on having the cat scan and the lab
test."
